Deathly Fates
As a priestess paid to guide the deceased home, Kang Siying has never feared death. But when her father collapses due to his declining health, Siying realizes that even she is not free from the cruel grasp of mortality. Desperate to save her father, Siying accepts a dangerous job and travels through enemy territory to retrieve the corpse of a missing prince.
But the moment Siying places her talisman on the dead prince's head, the prince comes back to life. Worse, he won't stay alive for long -- not unless he absorbs enough qi, or life force, to keep his soul anchored to his body.
In return for a reward worth twice her original commission, Siying agrees to aid him in finding and purifying evil spirits for their qi. But as they journey across the countryside, encountering vengeful ghosts and enemy spies alike, they gradually uncover dark secrets about the prince's death -- secrets that could endanger both Siying's father and their entire kingdom.

A Song I Wrote For Charlotte
Get ready to meet a truly one-of-a-kind heroine: Connie Moore.
Connie Moore has never failed at anything. That is until the Royal Academy of Music decide her piano playing isn’t good enough and she finds herself pursuing her back-up plan: moving into student halls to study English Literature. With her grandmother piling on the pressure and her father’s absence weighing on her, she knows she has to stay focused this year – mediocrity must be avoided at all costs.
Just across the corridor, Music Production student Charlotte Owen has other ideas. Sweet, sociable and not a girl who takes no for an answer, Charlotte drags Connie determinedly into university life. As an unlikely friendship blossoms between them, Connie begins to wonder if there’s something more to the way she feels about Charlotte – and, even more terrifyingly, whether there’s something more to the way Charlotte feels about her.
But Charlotte isn’t the kind of person you can hold on to forever. And Connie might have to consider whether the life that Charlotte has built for her is one that she can sustain alone.

Gods & Comics
Seventeen-year-old junior class vice president Grace Bak has her entire future all mapped out with plans to become a doctor like her parents. But the weight of Grace’s own daunting expectations leads to debilitating panic attacks that have made her a virtual outcast at school, even to her longtime friend and crush. To make matters worse, her grandmother and only real support system has just died. Halmeoni was the glue that kept Grace’s little family together, especially after she and her dad lost her mother to cancer when Grace was too little to have many memories of her. To cope with the grief of another loss, Grace starts a webcomic inspired by the Korean myths her Halmeoni used to tell her as a child. In Sun God, Grace spins the tale of Korean god Haemosu and his love Yuhwa, but with a twist - the two gods are trapped in the bodies of teenagers and, worst of all, cursed to attend high school. Grace never expected her comic to go viral, but it has, and the new fandom has somehow conjured the real Haemosu. Now it’s up to Grace to get him back home. But when she starts to fall for Hae, sending him home is the last thing she wants to do. More troubling, Hae isn’t the only god to suddenly reappear. Hae’s sworn enemy - also brought back to the mortal realm by Grace’s comic - is set on destroying Hae, all while infecting humanity with a deadly disease. As an epic battle between god’s looms, Hae is without his powers, so it may fall to Grace to fight back against a vengeful god hell-bent on punishing anyone who gets in his way.
Time-Tripping Over You
College freshman Silas Turner is a scientific anomaly. Thrown back in time uncontrollably, he’s forced into his pre-transition body for hours to days at a time, reliving random events in his past. Why? Every cell in his astrophysics major brain is straining to figure it out. But the “time trips” just keep on coming, disrupting Silas’s life, and he’s certain he’s a one-of-a-kind phenomenon - until brash, guitar-playing Jude Forrester barges into his life, exhibiting the same symptoms. He claims a future version of Silas visited him, and that, according to future-Silas, they’re meant to help each other stop the time trips. If working together can really lead to finding a cure, Silas can handle Jude’s tortured-artist attitude; Jude can humor Silas’s nerdy obsession with the stars. As they get closer to a solution, they grow closer to each other. But Jude is still grieving an old connection that broke his heart, and he can’t help but wonder if changing the past might save himself and Silas a lot of heartache. Amidst cataclysmic consequences, Silas and Jude must face the cosmic circumstances that brought them together if they hope to protect their timeline - and the future they seem destined to share.
I Was a Teenage Death God
Every time seventeen-year-old Charlie Ford touches someone, they absorb seconds of their life . . . which adds up when Charlie has no way of giving that time back. It feels like enough of a curse without Lou - the bratty bully of a ghost who’s hung around Charlie since childhood - forcing them to hand over that stolen life for her to use. Charlie will steal life from whomever Lou tells them to, as long as she doesn’t hurt Charlie’s twin Sam or their best friend and secret crush Ravi. So, when Lou tries to force Charlie to take life from Ravi, Charlie refuses, and Lou retaliates. When Lou goes after Sam, Charlie breaks down and finally tells Ravi about their life-stealing abilities - and after some internet sleuthing, Ravi finds out that Charlie might not be the only person born with that power. Along with Sam, they embark on a weekend road trip to meet a pair of self-proclaimed “death gods,” hoping for answers and, if they’re lucky, a solution to the whole Lou problem. But the answers about their powers only bring up more questions. With dark discoveries at every turn, Charlie must wrestle with a supernatural legacy that redefines their relationships to Sam and Ravi - and calls their very humanity into question.

A když ho vypráví kluk s nulovým společenským životem a pořádnou dávkou vymyšlených nemocí… Problém nastane, když se Nicovi začnou plnit přání – a někdo zemře.

Den za dnem se Nico snaží rekonstruovat události, které tomuto neštěstí předcházely, a zároveň pátrá po tom, kdy se z jeho rodičů stali cizí, prolhaní lidé. Souvisí to snad s tím, že jeho otec, inženýr hledající termodynamické štěstí, začal od jisté chvíle plnit dům předměty, které by sám rád vymyslel? Nebo to všechno začalo, když jeho matka – s titulem, na který se práší v šuplíku – snila o tom, že se ztratí v knihách a navždy zmizí? Nebo přesně ve chvíli, kdy se Nico podíval na svého strýce a zděsil se, že se mu začíná podobat? Výsledkem je, že každý nese své tajemství, vinu a důvod skrývat pravdu.

Two Perfect Lies
In this taut new young adult thriller by Edgar Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Natalie D. Richards, Clara is shocked to discover that her best friend - bright, popular Lily - has a dark side. Not only does Lily have a deadly plan, she's orchestrated every last detail to make it look like her scheme is entirely Clara's doing.
The first lie made Lily a saviour. The second framed Clara for murder.
If it weren't for Lily, Clara would still be a total outcast, shunned for her role in an incident that gave her a criminal record and ruined another girl's life. She's spent the past two years trying to escape that night, and ever since Lily Dalton befriended her, she's almost succeeded. After all, Lily's the golden girl of the high school - smart, popular, beloved by all - and as her best friend, Clara's now the bright, hard-working chemistry whiz.
But is Lily really just the good-hearted friend who saved Clara from the past? Because lately Lily has been talking about certain classmates and teachers - about wanting revenge. Do you ever think about making them pay? she asks. How would you do it? Lily has to be joking. At least that's what Clara thinks, until she finds a folder that outlines a deadly plan, including detailed steps and a list of targets in their school.
Shockingly, there's even more to Lily's plan, and it has everything to do with Clara. After all, everyone already knows what she did two years ago. Suddenly all the evidence has been turned against her, and there's no way she can prove her innocence. And the people on that list of targets? One after the next, they're meeting terrible fates, and Clara's looking guiltier by the second. It's up to Clara to find the truth and clear her name, before it's too late.
A harrowing thriller about lies and their devastating consequences, Two Perfect Lies cements Natalie D. Richards as a powerhouse of the psychological thriller genre and promises a riveting, unputdownable read.

Ne tágíts
A Ne érints univerzum új, világhírű bestsellersorozatának lélegzetelállító második kötete tíz évvel a Regeneráció bukása után játszódik.
Rosabelle Wolffnak volt egy terve. Most bosszúra szomjazik. Ahhoz, hogy megmenthesse a húgát, haza kell jutnia, hogy elpusztíthassa a rendszert, amely megalkotta. Rosabelle legfőbb ereje, hogy képes halottá tenni a testét és az elméjét; ez az egyetlen lehetősége arra, hogy életben maradhasson a Bárka-sziget megfigyelőállamában. Ám az utóbbi időben a szíve hevesebben ver, a gondolatai kiszámíthatatlanul cikáznak, a védelmi rendszere meggyengült. És mindennek egy bizonyos személy az oka. James Andersonnak volt egy terve. Most nincs egyebe, csak problémái. Talán Rosabelle az a szövetséges, akire szüksége van, hogy harcba szálljon a Regenerációval, de senki sem akar megbízni az ellenség bérgyilkosában. Az sem sokat segít, hogy Rosabelle nem igazán beszédes, nem túl jó csapatjátékos, és ösztönből öl. Azzal, hogy a lány oldalára áll, James csaknem mindent kockára tesz – de ha életben tartja, talán megmentheti a világot. Bárcsak meg tudná erről győzni a bátyját is!
Aaron Warner Andersonnak volt egy terve. Valami sötét dolog közeleg, és Rosabelle érkezése csak az előjáték. Warner saját magát látja a lányban, de semmi esetre sem bízhat meg benne, és már nem is tud olvasni a lelkében. Olyan, mint egy lemerült akkumulátor, semmiféle érzelmet nem mutat. Legalábbis addig, amíg James be nem lép a szobába…
Vulkanikus feszültség, sokkoló felismerések, nyaktörő akciók – és egy disztópikus világ, amely soha nem rest növelni a tétet. Üdvözlünk ismét az Új Köztársaságban!

Jenže začít si s kolegou, navíc budoucí hvězdou týmu, by mohlo ohrozit Avinu vysněnou kariéru. A vzhledem k tomu, že jí posedlost F1 kdysi prakticky zachránila život, je pro ni práce na prvním místě. Dočasným řešením je jejich rozvíjející se vztah přede všemi tajit.

Someone to Daydream About
This is what dreams are made of. Every teenager in America knows eighteen-year-old Felix Song, the lead singer of the most popular boy band since One Direction. Unfortunately, Natalie Nielsen is no exception. Though she thinks of him more as an annoying rich kid from her hometown than a heartthrob.

She has no money. When Felix's little sister's hearing loss begins to accelerate, he gives Natalie a generous job offer that would help secure the Centre’s future: but she must accompany him on tour this summer to teach him ASL. What begins as a professional arrangement soon morphs into stolen kisses and late-night rendezvous. But as their connection deepens, so do the risks - and when their relationship suddenly takes centre stage, it’s not only their hearts, but Felix’s career on the line. Amid relentless public scrutiny, contractual obligations, and meddling band members, Natalie must decide if their dreams can co-exist in the spotlight.
